Publisher's summary

As you age, you may find yourself worrying about your memory. Where did I put those car keys? What time was my appointment? What was her name again? With more than 41 million Americans over the age of 65 in the United States, the question becomes how much (or, perhaps, what type) of memory loss is to be expected as one gets older and what should trigger a visit to the doctor.

Seven Steps to Managing Your Memory addresses these key concerns and more, such as:

  • What are the signs that suggest your memory problems are more than just part of normal aging?
  • Is it normal to have concerns about your memory?
  • What are the markers of mild cognitive impairment, dementia, Alzheimer's, and other neurodegenerative diseases?
  • How should you convey your memory concerns to your doctor?
  • What can your doctor do to evaluate your memory?
  • Which healthcare professional(s) should you see?
  • What medicines, alternative therapies, diets, and exercises are available to improve your memory?
  • Can crossword puzzles, computer brain-training games, memory aids, and strategies help strengthen your memory?
  • What other resources are available when dealing with memory loss?

Seven Steps to Managing Your Memory is accessible yet comprehensive, featuring clinical vignettes and character-based stories that provide real-life examples of how to successfully manage age-related memory loss.

good so far,

good so far but I'm dying for the author to acknowledge that some of these things are also ADHD things

very Informative

I loved it. The book really eased my concerns about my memory. I would recommend it to anyone that has someone in their life that is not remembering little things

Excellent

Superbly written book on memory issues that will affect all of us from normal aging to mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy Body dementia, primary progressive aphasia, normal pressure hydrocephalus, primary progressive aphasia and effect of strokes on the brain. It is written at a straight forward high school level for the lay public. I highly recommend this book to people who want to learn about these issues, to family members and people wondering if they are having memory questions of themselves. It is the best book I’ve come across on this subject in recent years. Frank J Rubino MD
